PARTING OUT THE SHELL




Well, I've had my 93 si for over a year now and have done a few things to it. Sadly, i do not have pics for everything I have done, nor the process of putting them on.

I bought it because I was giving my then-current car (98 civic) to my older brother, so i needed a new car. Bought the car in the summer of 2010 from a fellow HT member in Columbus. Its a 1993 Milano Red Civic Si, and I was told it was built by a guy from King Motorsports

and......my lady


oh, and some literature



updates will be very slow

 

Looks good so far.

Keep it up.

 

I really like the steering wheel and shifter. Looks much better.

 

thanks man!

(previous owner ^^)

 

How good/bad is it shifting with that size shifter?

 

The car has a short throw shifter, but with the 2 extenders, it just feels like a stock shift throw, so i dont mind it at all. but it also acts as an arm rest

 

Nice I've always wanted a detachable steering wheel but I didn't want to sacrifice the cruise control, great idea

 

your car looks nice clean and simple

 

it was super easy. my car came with a sparco wheel attached, but also came with the stock one. all i had to do was get the CC harness from out of the stock wheel, cut a hole in the panel, screw it on, and plug it in

thanks man!

 

dude i love this car
i parked by you a couple times at wright state in my gsr swapped ej1. i like the simplicity of your car and it sounded nasty



thats a pic of my car in the parking lot at school before i sold her btw

 

Thanks man! The BuddyClub Spec II is my favorite exhaust. from what i saw of it, your coupe was pretty clean too!


will have update tomorrow BTW

 

well...i guess i didnt have updates for jan 7th..


The car was backed into this past January and i just now got the car into the shop. the guy busted my corner lamp, dented my fenter, and scraped my bumper. Luckily, he is paying for it out of his pocket, which means....OEM honda parts! Ok, well just part since i only had to get a new fender.

i dont have any pictures of the damage, but its in the shop now. i checked the rockers while the side skirt was off and good news: no rot on the rockers! there is only a bit of cancer on the QP


dat free OEM honda feel....

 

Looks good.

I might have my EJ6 out there next summer.

 

i just need to save up for rust repair and paintless dent removal for the hail damage now

 

Got her back today sorry for the iphone pictures. she looks really good and really red IRL doe

 

havent had the roof rack on in quite some time because my pads started to deteriorate. i called Yakima yesterday and told them about it and theyre sending me a new set FOR FREE

 

shes gone...got totaled last night by a drunk driver. no pics as of yet.



anyone want to help me fine a new body for the engine? gonna be looking for another eg hatch

 

sorry to hear man, loved this car. glad your okay and also glad the engine is!

 

once i get everything with insurance sorted out, im buying the car back and taking all the goodies out of it. expect a big for sale thread within the next few months might keep the swap or i might sell it, depending on what i get next

when i get the engine out, if anyone is interested: i dont have reciepts or dyno charts, but ill give you my mechanics number. hes done all of the maintenance i cant do in my garage and he knows how strong the engine is.

rough specs are ~200whp, 28-30 mpg, ~55-60k miles, always used royal purple

 

Damn, that sucks man.

You should buy my Miata.

 

lol, nah man im lookin at a couple of hondas on here. tryin to still use the hype-r swap

 

not much of a build..
good looking car though

 

damages

 

What happened? Besides the obvious.
